MIT Flash Mob Demonstrates Nanoparticle Drug Delivery

This excellent video from MIT shows a rare phenomenon - an educational flashmob. Around 200 students and staff from MIT and the Boston area acted out the delivery of chemotherapeutics to cancer cells via nanoparticles at the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, as part of the 2012 Cambridge Science Festival.

Graphene oxide membranes have been receiving attention for their extremely powerful separation abilities and the ease at which it can be modified, allowing for membrane permittivity to be fine-tuned. These membranes show the potential to be used for water purification, ‘green’ gas purification and greenhouse gas capture.
